The Dhaka Circular Railway (Bengali: ঢাকা চক্ররেল, romanizedDhaka Chokrorel) is a proposed orbital suburban rail system which is expected to serve Dhaka and Greater Dhaka once completed, and reduce traffic marginally in the city. The project is being considered for investment by South Korea and implemented by Bangladesh Railway.[1]
